In liberated Izyum, one man and his memories still live in the cellar


Izyum (Ukraine) (AFP) – During the long months of Russian occupation in Izyum, up to sixty people lived in Andriy Pleshan’s cellar. Izyum, a town in eastern Ukraine, and home to 45,000 inhabitants before the war, was retaken by Ukrainian forces in mid-September, and has lived in relative peace since, unlike other liberated towns closer to the front line.
